This is one of the principle reasons that if you can afford to, you should spend a LOT of time on the google self-teaching yourself random shyt. Been pounding out
digital media for a few months to compile a portfolio by March. Then i will have a blog or website up showing my work, do favors for friends and
businesses i'm cool with, and let the information sit for a few months. In the fall:
"I have been at this for years, but my commercial projects have been available for roughly a year. I did work for X, Y, and Z businesses, etc,etc,etc."
As long as my skills back it up and I have work in use by SOMEONE, I should be able to freelance my ass off by the end of summer 2015, and possibly before.
There is levels to this "qualified worker" shyt
